Bull Shit Baby Fun
So this afternoon Dexee went to Gymboree for a free learn and play class for babies 6-10 months. And oh my goodness gracious was it fun!
This class is so not my style. There is a clown, singing stupid songs, clapping, and all that bull shit.
But when you have a baby, and you are with a bunch of other mom’s and their babies…its the most fun thing you could imagine. Dexee was the...

Still desperate to meet other mommy friends!
I’m terrified of other moms. Like, terrified. For the most part, I’m much younger, less educated (though I’m smart…sometimes :P), poor, alternative, and most debilitating of all, shy.
Anyway, my favorite website/ blog site of all time (I must visit about 100,000,000,000 times a day) is Offbeatmama. I constantly wish that I could go a too a meetup run by the moms on this...

The Backstabber
Something I’ve been thinking about a lot lately is how I haven’t been the greatest friend to pretty much any friend I’ve ever had. I don’t think I’ve ever had a friend I’ve never said anything bad about, complained about, etc. And I’m talking about since probably the beginning of high school. I have one friend who I don’t think I ever said anything...

Emma Lee
Last night I had twins in my dream again.
This time it wasn’t Dexee Jane and Suzee Jade it was Dexee Jane and Emma Lee though there was only one birth certificate and they were never near near each other at the same time.
Twin dreams freak me out.

I Should Have Smoked Pot While I Was Pregnant.
Today I found out that A LOT (okay, maybe not A LOT) of women smoke pot when they have to deal with morning sickness in the first trimester of pregnancy. I wish I had known this. Instead I went out of my way to NOT smoke pot when everyone else around me was.
I lost 10 pounds during my first trimester because I was too sick to eat! Damn, so much suffering for nothing!

Good Morning!
Good morning Tumblr! My alarm didn’t go off this morning so guess who missed their 6 month doctors appointment today? My baby.
Fuck 8:30am appointments though, why did I ever agree to that. I’ll call today and ask for an afternoon appointment.
By the way I spent 30 dollars on food yesterday, what the fuck? I was waiting for take out so I went into a bread shop right next door (Great...

Being Honest on Tumblr
I wish that I never hooked up my Tumblr to my Facebook! Now I’m afraid that people from my “fiance’s” family read my blog so I there are certain things I really want to post but can’t! (The only reason I don’t worry about people from my family reading my blogs is because I rarely see them). What’s the point of blogging if you can’t post everything...

Feeling Better
Yeah, It’s nice to know that I’m not the only one either! I must be one of the moodiest people in the world, my self image is constantly moving between extremes.
I got a couple messages from friends too that made me feel better. A little bit embarrassed because it wasn’t my intention to have people tell me how awesome I am but it definitely made me feel a little better.

To be Down on Yourself
Today I feel horrible:
I feel dumb
I feel bland
I feel ugly
I feel fat
I feel unhealthy
I can feel my crooked teeth rubbing against my inner lip.
I feel unimaginitve
I feel sloppy
I feel like a purely gray image.
Nothing worth noticing.

RIP
On my way to Clifton for a photo shoot I stopped at a graveyard. I ended up taking a lot of pictures of Dexee sitting in front of the tombstones of babies, some her age. I’ve never actually felt moved by the subjects of my photos but today I cried. Rest in peace little lambs.

The Hunger Games
**Spoilers**
So here is my review (of sorts) of the Hunger Games.
First off! As I was standing in line to get tickets an angel from God asked me if I was seeing the Hunger Games. When I responded with yes and an excited smile she informed me that she had accidentally purchased one two many tickets online and gave me her extra ticket! Ballin! (I was already excited because I’m used to...

Funny Family Moments
So this was in the email my 80 something year old Catholic grandmother from the midwest just sent me:
We just watched the first C D of “The Tutors” from the library. Wow, pretty loose stuff!
I bet she thinks Jonathan Rhys Meyers is drop dead super sexy too!
Like Grandmother like Granddaughter!
Oh yeah!

Barf
Every time I get nauseous I freak out that I’m pregnant again. Well not freak out but worry. I shouldn’t be. We’ve been great about using birth control but there was that one time we literally forgot to use a condom and remembered about a minute after started having sex. I wanted to kill myself. I’m trying to get my insurance stuff straitened out so that I can get the mini...

That's Right, Dex is Going to the Gym!
I accidentally signed Dexee up for a class at the local Gymboree during her nap time. Dammit! She’s going to be cranky! Maybe I can somehow, miraculously get her to fall asleep and hour early. The class is at 12:30 (she generally takes a nap starting somewhere between 12:30 and 1). It’s for babies between 6 and 10 months, this is the description:

To Home School or Not to Home School?
So.
I am seriously considering homeschooling Dexee. There are many pros and cons to the list but I can mostly think of pros.
The two main cons I can think of
I would have to forgo getting a full time job for a long time and money would be tight.
oh and some people would think that I am wierd.
Here’s the thing though, something that Patrick and I talk about a lot actually. We retained...

I want to get married so badly :(
But I have no money, no organization skills, and a groom to be to be who dreads the idea of a wedding altogether.
I just got my tax money back though so I think I’m going to give some to Patrick to buy me an engagement ring.
I’m really tired of calling the father of my baby/ the person I’m confident I’m spending the rest of my life with...

Till Death Do Us Part.
I just got Dexee to fall asleep by giving her a massage.
I wish someone would rub my legs until I fell asleep.
In other news, I realized last night that Dexee is going to die one day. She will become an old lady and I won’t be there with her anymore. I watched as her dad held her and she smiled at him, grabbing his lips playfully and I cried at the thought that this all goes away. We all...

Makeshift Railing
I made a makeshift railing using a body pillow tucked under a sheet so no more monkeys falling off the bed.
Woohoo!

Worst Mother Ever
I definitely won the worst mother ever award this morning. This title has been given to me by Dexee’s swollen upper lip and the purple bruise on her head.
I feel horrible. At least she is okay for the most part.
She fell off the bed due to my negligence…again.
I really thought she was in a position to not fall off but evidently I was wrong.
Poor baby.
Ugh.

We Go Together Like...Breastfeeding and Cosleeping →

“100 years of rapidly changing infant-care fashions cannot alter several million years of evolutionarily derived infant physiology”

Sleep and feeding have become some of the most discussed and disseminated topics in parenting today. How much sleep are you getting? Do you use formula or just the breast? When should a child sleep through the night? Do you...

Stages of Pregnancy
Stage 1: You just found out you’re pregnant. You’re excited (or horrified) and you can’t believe you’re going to be a mother. You may be scared to give birth and wonder how you’re going to do it. Everywhere you look you see pregnant women. You’re tired. Like really tired. Every pain and twinge you wonder if it’s because you’re...

The Creepy Breastfeeder
When people ask me how long I plan on breastfeeding I always answer with “I don’t know yet.”
What they think I mean: I don’t know how many more months.
What I really mean: I don’t know how many more years.

Even with the time change Dexee slept an extra 2 hours today! So instead of 7 I woke up at 10. It’s like she knew I needed more sleep. And now she is playing with a lint roller and can’t get it off of her hand.
And life is good.

To Be Beyond Tired
Being overtired is the worst. Everything is unhappy. As each day goes by I’m a little more tired than the day before. Maybe tomorrow I will get a chance to nap without Dexee. I have to admit, as much as I love co-sleeping. It would be nice to be able to spread out in my own space. Most of the time I have to adjust my body and position to the way that makes Dexee most comfortable. And last...

Lazy Day
Because I need to clean the house today so that my mother is happy while babysitting Dex tonight. (It was Patrick and I’s 4 year anniversary yesterday, we’re celebrating tonight though by going out with friends). So anyway. I’m ignoring my no TV during the daytime rule so that laundry is bearable and Dexee will be distracted.
So here’s to morning television programs...

Kony...Kony...KONY
To the people who are irritated by the posts about Kony everywhere…get over it. So it’s become a trend. But wouldn’t it be awesome if all trends were like this? If trends spread global awareness about the fucked up happenings around the world? If trends made people feel such a strong urge to help their fellow man? Or at least the urge to care a little bit.

I totally just sent an email asking my dad if he would pay for me to go for my postpartum doula certification through Childbirth International!
If he say yes that’s crazy awesome!
If he says no I completely understand and will find another way to fund it. It’s just as expensive as taking one 4 credit course and my community college.
Is my life going somewhere?
Maybe. (Yes I know...

That Awkward Moment When You're On Welfare
So I’m going to a WIC office today, exciting. I will be able to get it for Dexee because she is an infant AND myself because I am a breast feeding mother. I’ve decided that I’m going to start trying more fruits and vegetables now that I don’t have to spend money on stuff that I’m not sure I’ll eat. I’d like to use this opportunity to become healthy and...

Dexee Jane meet Suzee Jade
I had an odd dream last night.
I gave birth to Dexee’s twin in my car. She was a lot smaller than Dexee is now but looked pretty much the same. When I brought her home Patrick and I were in shock and somewhat resentful that we had to do the last 5 months over again but this time with two babies. We had to name her really quickly. I forget the original name, it may have been Piccolo (Patrick...

Pop star Beyonce isn’t just breastfeeding — she’s breastfeeding in public, if a report in US Weekly, quoting at least one eye-witness, is correct.
Why does that matter to anyone but Beyonce and her baby girl, Blue Ivy? There are two…
Hell yeah Beyonce indeed.

Nap Time.
So I got on the computer as my “free time” because my daughter is on her second nap which never lasts more than half an hour.
It’s been almost 2 hours.
I had to make sure she was alive, this is unbelievable.
